Chapter 1 The Journey To LA

Olivia's pov:

One day during a livestream where I was doing a mini QnA session, a fan asked me, "Which YouTuber would you like to meet?". I started thinking deeply and after a few seconds of brainstorming, I responded happily 'Sam'.

I continued by saying that I wanted to meet Sam as he was my biggest inspiration and it was actually because of him that I started YouTube. His videos not only entertained me but also helped me during the dark phases of my life. I would be super happy to meet him.

I responded to a few more questions before ending my livestream. It was such an amazing day of filming content for my channel. I shut the camera off as it was quite late and crashed on my bed.

One morning, a week after the live stream, I woke up, feeling drowsy and tired as I slept quite late the previous night. I rubbed my eyes and immediately went to check my phone for any important business emails or messages. I know its a bad habit to check your phone first thing in the morning, but give me a break! I'm trying to work on it as soon as possible. As I was scrolling through my Instagram dms, I noticed an account with a verified mark! I checked the name and I literally jumped from my bed! It was a dm from THE Sam Oscar! I was so happy like I couldn't even imagine this day would come, it felt like a dream come true!

Oh, my mind was filled with his charming, perfect face with his sparkly eyes, cute smile and sharp jawline. For all these years, I couldn't get his face out of my head! His body was a totally different topic that I could go on and on for.

I quickly scanned Sam's message and my heart melted at seeing such a sweet compilment from him! It was like an honour receving a compliment from him about my videos.

After my whole excitement with Sam messaging me, I went to my living room to eat my breakfast along with my family which included my mother, brother and my 2 sisters. Unfortunately, my father had passed away a few years ago due to cancer. It was a very painful phase in my life but I'm glad that I'm able to support my family by making YouTube videos in his absence. I loved my family a lot and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

After eating breakfast, I went back to my room to start planning the day, I went to my phone and there I saw another dm from Sam! I sat down on my revolving chair, adjusted my hair and started reading his very message. When I read that Sam invited me to accompany him to Vidcon, I remember them emailing me, asking if I wanted to be a featured creator there but I mulled over it for days but now I was able to make the decision.

Vidcon is basically like a social event where many Youtubers come together and interact with their supporters for a few days! This year, the event was based in Los Angeles!

"Mom! Im going to Vidcon!" I screamed throughout the house! It was my first time attending Vidcon! I couldn't believe this was happening! I felt like I was in a dream!

I heard Vidcon was an amazing place! I was so excited, I couldn't wait! I quickly went to my computer and proceeded to respond to the email.

2 weeks later~

Olivia's pov:

I left my house early in the morning to reach the airport, I don't know what it is but there is something about flights that makes it so relaxing. During the car ride, I was frankly excited and nervous! It was my first time going to LA as well as travelling without my family! I never went on any flight without them. I guess I'm too attached to them. I rolled my window down, letting my hair loose in the cool morning breeze and took a breathe of the fresh air in the city.

I reached the airport an hour later. The traffic was horrible that day! And after all the security checks I boarded the plane. My flight was a long one of a whopping 21 hours from India to America. The flight was pretty ok but I did feel a bit lonely. I slept through the entire flight and only woke up when the meals were served. Airplane meals to be honest are pretty gross. I once felt super sick for days after eating a rancid tasting airplane briyani! I felt like suing the airlines for serving me that slop but that would never happen.

After I reached my destination, I was greeted by the Vidcon team who were to check me into my hotel. The road to the hotel was amazing, LA looked so beautiful but somehow didn't have that much greenery and was caked in buildings! The hotel itself looked like one of those old hotels but it was grand and majestic. I never thought that YouTube and Vidcon would be so generous considering most of the trip was for free.

All the YouTubers were given their own separate rooms in the hotel, I was given a room on the 6th floor. And we were all surprised with a box placed on the bed in our rooms filled with goodies from YouTube. At this point, I was super proud of how far I have come through in my life.

After unpacking and freshening up~

Still Olivia's pov:

I looked at myself in the mirror to see if my outfit looked presentable as I didn't want to make a bad first impression to the YouTubers! I fluffed up my dark brown hair and applied another layer of lipstick to ensure it didn't wear out.

I quickly made one Instagram story and headed out of my room. It was lunch time so I went down to the dining area and there I saw all the YouTubers hanging out. I sighed, feeling a bit nervous as I was shockingly an introvert, so meeting people was a huge task for me. I was walking towards the entrance of the dining area when suddenly I bumped into someone and fell down onto the carpeted floor. I groaned in pain.

With my eyes closed and without seeing who I bumped into, I shouted out loud but not too loud, "What the hell, watch where you're going!" After a few seconds of silence, all I heard was "Im sorry" in a very familiar voice.

I was still on the floor when I opened my eyes and slowly looked up and realised I had bumped into Sam!! My eyes popped and I lowered my head feeling very embarrassed. How could I be such an idiot?

Sam's pov:

I was so shocked that I bumped into Olivia! Guess staring at my phone while walking wasn't a good idea at all. I scratched my head wondering how this happened and immediately helped her get up and apologised.

The sunlight which penetrated through the hotel windows shined on her face making her hair glisten! She looked beautiful!

We both were blank for the first few seconds but I finally decided to break the awkward silence.

"I guess we met on a bad note huh", I chuckled but it was obviously forced and I could tell she noticed with that look on her face.

She smiled and gave out a nervous laugh while fidgeting with her hands.

She too said she was sorry and we just laughed it out as mistakes do happen.

Olivia's pov:

I felt super embarrassed to have encountered my idol like this. This was super unexpected and I was kicking myself to have let this happen.

After we laughed, I immediately gave him a hug and started rambling about how much I love and appreciate his videos. I guess the fan girl in me couldn't help herself. Remember how I said I was an introvert?

Surprisingly he told me that he too enjoyed my content and admired my personality. I was kinda baffled to hear this as I never would've expected for him to watch my videos, plus I make the sh*ttiest content out there so it was a huge surprise. Regardless, I was delighted!

After the rather awkward talk, both of us went into the dining area which was exclusive for creators. I saw the whole room filled with so much positivity, love and diversity. The community is so amazing! And then there is me.....but we'll talk about that later.

Sam and I sat down with a bunch of creators who I never met or heard before. Which wasn't surprising atleast for me. Have y'all met me in person?

We talked a lot and it was super fun getting to know such amazing and talented people.

After lunch, we were free to relax as per our schedule. I badly needed rest as the jet lag was really getting to me and stuffing my face with plates and plates of food made it worse! Don't ever do that!

"Are you staying in the hotel too?" I questioned Sam. To which, he nodded no with a huge question mark on his face and then it struck me....

Since Sam lived a few blocks away from the hotel, he did not really need to stay here. He often went to the hotel to attend the creator meetings.

How do I know this? Well, it's because he literally talked about this over lunch!

How did I forget what he said literally a few minutes ago? I'm seriously making myself look like an idiot in front of Sam and it's just the first day!

Anyways....I spent the rest of the day relaxing and admiring the scenery of LA from my room. The sun was almost setting and the sky was covered with a orange hue. It was a sight to see!

I ate a light meal for dinner and that's when my eyes started to feel a bit heavy. Later, after taking a shower and slipping into my pyjamas, I laid in bed and fell asleep listening to one of my favourite music, which changes everyday for some reason so let's not call it 'favourite', awaiting for tomorrow.

Chapter 2 Bonding Time

The next day:

Olivia's pov:

I woke up after a great night of rest. I was super excited today as I was supposed to go to Sam's house to collab for his channel with him and his two friends who lived with him.

I stretched my hands to awaken me fully, and looked at the view from my hotel room which looked so gorgeous! It was night and day compared to my apartment back home. where all you could see is building after building covering up the trees and the sky.

After brushing my teeth, taking a shower and blow drying my hair, I headed down to the lobby, ready to start the day. According to the schedule given by Vidcon, the whole afternoon was booked for sightseeing LA. Since we were free to do whatever we want in the evening, yesterday, Sam and I decided to meet up at the lobby at 6pm to go to his house for the video collab.

So after everyone assembled near the entrance of the hotel, we boarded a huge bus that had the YouTube and Vidcon logo all over it! I looked at the sky to see the LA sun shining bright. It was so warm but I wasn't sweating up a storm that easily like I did back home.

After the bus driver took his seat, we were off to visit major attractions like Universal Studios, the Hollywood sign and more! My mind was engulfed with the beauty of LA.

In the bus, I was sitting with two YouTubers, Phil who was sitting in the aisle seat and Nikita who was sitting in the middle seat. I did not know them at all but after some exchange of details about each other, we connected really well.

We mostly talked about our lives and how YouTube eventually changed it for the better. I was so happy to make so many new friends on this journey. Being an introvert, it wasn't my cup of tea but I genuinely enjoyed their company so it wasn't that hard to befriend them. I was quite proud of myself to be honest! On a side note, I can't believe that, that was my biggest life achievement! Says a lot about me but moving on.....

Nikita's pov:

(Nikita is an extremely competitive and selfish person. She runs a drama channel and often tries to start drama for content and views)

"Ugh" I thought to myself while rolling my eyes subtlety so Olivia and Phil wouldn't notice, these buffoons bored me to death!

The only thing I paid attention to is when Olivia mentioned that she had '10M subscribers' while I only have 900k!

"No hunny, this has to change", I thought to myself while looking at Olivia with disgust while she was busy admiring the city. She did look pretty but obviously not as pretty as me.

As Phil and Olivia continued to chat, I thought to devise a plan that would get Olivia down and me to the top! I smirked while giving them a death stare for a few seconds. I love giving people death stares, its my specialty. I will squash anyone who gets in the way of my success.

After a few minutes of brainstorming, I came to the conclusion that in order for my plan to work, I'll need to get some dirt on her. This won't be difficult at all as along with having a drama channel, I have a natural born talent of finding people's nasty secrets! I began to smile at myself, "Im such a genius" such compliments began circulating in my mind. I was as excited to carry out my plan as a 5 year old getting some candy.

Olivia's pov:

After briefly looking out the window of the bus, I noticed Nikita lost in her own thoughts. I was confused as she was just smiling while looking at the ceiling of the bus. Even Phil looked as confused as I was.

We both gave ourselves a subtle gesture, indicating our confusion. I eventually snapped my fingers near Nikita's face. She lowered her head looking at me.

She looked bit annoyed to be honest. "Wha- I mean yesss what happened you guys?" she questioned with a huge smile on her face!

Was it a fake smile? I thought to myself but immediately disregarded that.

I asked, "What happened? What are you thinking about?" while raising both my eyebrows.

Nikita looking a bit annoyed for some reason but quickly looked outside the window, avoiding eye contact with me and replied "Oh nothing, LA looks beautiful, right?" again with the same smile as before. I didn't think much about this and continued the conversation with them.

After chatting a bit and admiring the streets of LA, the bus reached its destinations.

"We have arrived at our stop" the guide who was assigned to be with us mentioned at every stop. She was extremely sweet and very informative.

The entire trip was super fun. Nikita, Phil and I formed a group for the entire trip. We took a lot of pictures mainly for Instagram, ate a lot of delicious food and enjoyed the rides at the amusement parks. It was quite a day!

The only downside was when Nikita got extremely angry when she chipped off her acrylic nails during the roller coaster ride but we won't go into detail on that as it wasn't a pretty site.

Hours later~

Still Olivia's pov:

The sun was setting, leaving its orangey hue scattered around the sky. The bus returned to the hotel, we got off feeling super tired and beat. Almost everyone including my new friends, Nikita and Phil went back to their rooms to relax while some hung out at the lobby. However, I waited at the fountain that was lit up in the evenings near the front gate, to wait for Sam to arrive to pick me up for the collab.

As I was waiting while sitting on the chair near the fountain, in my mind I was revisiting the beautiful places I went today. All of them were really amazing! I never had so much fun as I did today. Nikita and Phil were really fun people! I was happy to meet them.

After listening to some music on my phone while wearing my AirPods and scrolling through Instagram, I noticed Sam walking into the hotel. He wore a grey shirt with a black jacket over it and a pair of black jeans. I waved at him smilingly and got up from my chair.

"Hey!! How was LA?" Sam asked while trying to adjust his smooth silky hair.

I replied, "It was amazing! Much more beautiful than I imagined. I made "some" friends on the way which is very new to me.."

Sam's pov:

"Well I'm glad that your day went well. Shall we leave before it gets late?" I asked.

She nodded and we proceeded to go to my car. As she entered the car, her floral perfume filled the air.

In the car, we talked about how each of us influenced our lives. She mainly talked about her excitement to meet me. I could tell by her expression how happy she was to be this close to me. I looked at my reflection in the car mirror and I think I was blushing for some reason. Was I?

Nah....

A few minutes into the chat, I mentioned a lot of personal details that I didn't even tell my YouTube audience. It had to do with the day both my parents committed suicide due to financial issues and how that incident still haunts me to this day.

After my parents passed away, things have been pretty rough mentally and physically for me.

As I was talking, I paused as I saw a very sad look on her face.

I kinda tried to lighten up the mood by telling Olivia how her videos lightened me up. They were actually really helpful to me.

Olivia's pov:

When Sam told me all about this, I was extremely broken apart. This guy had gone through so much trauma.

I could never imagine going through such a thing in life. I was happy though, that he is trying his best to come out of this and live life happily. I am optimistic so I had full faith that Sam would eventually become fully happy again.

I sighed with relief and pushed a strand of hair that was bugging my face, behind my ear and said, "I'm so grateful to know that I made a difference in your life. You will be able to confront your fears and be mentally strong"

I steered the conversation into a completely light hearted one for the rest of the journey.

Meanwhile in the hotel~

Nikita's pov:

I was sitting in front of my laptop which was on the coffee table in my room.

"Aah, this is extremely frustrating! How can one person have such a clean past? I have found nothing to use against Olivia and ruin her reputation online." I thought to myself while clenching my hand into a fist.

Just then I suddenly loosened the tension inside my mind as I had come up with a devious idea.

What if I sneak into Olivia's room to find anything at all to use against her and since she went out for some pathetic collab in the evening, it will be much easier for me to execute the plan.

Since I can't find anything online, maybe there could be something here.

"Oh Olivia, you are not ready for what is going to come at you." I said with a huge smile.

"Nikita how can you be such a genius?" I praised myself with immense anticipation to carry out my plan.

Chapter 3 Friendship

Olivia's pov:

After what seemed like forever, we finally reached Sam's home. I never knew LA traffic was this terrible! It kinda reminded me of traffic back home where my mom would crack lame jokes to pass the time. I deeply miss my family now thinking about it.

As soon as I got out of the car, what I saw blew my mind. It looked like a mansion in comparison to my apartment.

"Is that your house?" I asked with a shocked look on my face. I didn't even realise how stupid I looked with my mouth dropped to the floor.

"Why yes! It took a while to save up but I finally got my dream house!"

I kept on admiring the house from the entrance gate.

The front of the house had polished wooden planks that led to the huge door of the two storey building.

A minute after we rang the bell, the door opened with a click and I saw Sam's friends, Jack and Jessica!

I gave each of them a tight hug as I was a huge fan of them too. They made quite a lot of appearances on Sam's channel. Did you know they live together in this very house? All of us were so happy to meet each other.

The house was enormous on the inside, it felt so surreal that I was here.

Sam gave me a whole house tour which took some time to get through all the rooms.

I always wondered how awesome Sam's house looked like and how awful my tiny apartment looked like. I guess blowing your money off on random anime figures was a bad idea.....

In the middle of his recording room, there was a huge white table which contained his monitors and cameras. The place was flooded in wires. This set up was a lot more complex than my set up! I literally used cereal boxes as my tripod as I was too lazy to go out and buy an actual one.

While Sam and Jack were setting up the lights and cameras, Jessica and I sat down and started chatting or maybe gossiping.

At that point, I remembered what Sam told me in the car about his parents so I asked her about Sam's parents to get the whole story.

Jessica told me that his parents were quiet depressed with each other and due to financial issues, they couldn't take it anymore. Sam had just started YouTube afresh at that time so the income wasn't stable whatsoever. After months of stress and depression, they finally ended their lives.

I felt so shattered upon hearing this but I controlled my emotions as I didn't want Sam to know we were discussing this.

Jessica further told me that initially Sam was so upset to find out the reason why they did it that so he worked a lot to get rid of the financial difficulties but later after getting a stable income he got depressed thinking about the past and it still haunts him to this day.

"Trust me, Jack and I did a lot to help him and he has become a thousand times better!" Jessica put on a proud face while saying this.

While I was extremely happy to hear that, I couldn't take it anymore, it was so upsetting and sad to hear how much difficulties he was and is still going through.

After thanking Jessica for telling me this, I got up and put on a happy face and got ready for the video.

Meanwhile at the hotel~

Nikita's pov:

"If I want to get into Olivia's room, I would need a key!" I thought to myself.

But since I don't have her key, I would need to steal a master key from the hotel's employees.

I got out of my room casually and saw a waiter bringing in room service to the neighbouring room opposite to mine.

Perfect timing!

I quickly pulled an act and pretended to twist my ankle and started calling for help.

That moron quickly ran up to me asking, "Are you ok ma'am? Let me help you"

As he tried to help me up, I put my hands around his waist and sneakily took the master key out of his back pockets.

I politely "thanked him" as he dropped me to the entrance of my room.

That fool took some time to leave the floor! I was getting pretty annoyed pretending to go into my room.

After he went away in the elevator, I quickly took the stairs to get to Olivia's floor.

All this hard work better pay off since I had to walk the stairs in my heels. Of course I didn't want to change them, I loved my heels.

As I approached her room, I stared at the keys thinking of the fame I would get if my plan worked out.

After chuckling a bit, I inserted the key card into the slot and slowly unlocked the door without looking suspicious to the surveillance cameras.

Back at Sam's home~

Olivia's pov:

After we finish filming which took hours to complete! Ok I'm exaggerating, it took two hours to film. Sam went down stairs to fetch us some drinks as I was thirsty from talking a lot in the video.

As he was getting the drinks, I was walking around the room looking at Instagram while Jessica and Jack were sitting on the couch.

As my face was drowned into my phone, I didn't even realise when my shoe got tangled up in those wires! I instantly fell down onto the soft carpeted floor, knocking one of the ring lights in the process.

Jack immediately got up from the couch and came to help me. As I was getting up. I inspected myself and thankfully I received no bruises.

Right then, we heard the door lock click and saw Sam walking into the room!

As he walked in, he saw the shattered light and all the glass pieces on the floor with me standing at the centre with Jack amongst this commotion.

I was feeling so guilty that I was ok if Sam yelled at me but to my surprise he yelled out, "Jack, what the hell did you do?"

At that point I was wondering, "Jack?" when did my parents name me Jack?

A few seconds later I finally grasped what was going on! It seems that Sam thinks Jack broke the ring light!

Jack tried to explain the situation to him but he thought he was lying.

In order to defend Jack, I immediately told Sam what happened and instead of getting angry at me, he looked at me with a rather cute smile and said, "Its alright, I can get a new one. I'm just glad you didn't get hurt."

After hearing this, I got a sense of relief and frankly I was very happy to hear Sam's concern for me like I'm some creepy girlfriend of his but let's ignore that for now.

However, I was wondering why he got so angry when he thought Jack did it but was so calm when he came to know I knocked the light.

I pitched in to help Sam clean the mess, at that time, I saw Jack completely distressed but he didn't say anything. When I saw that, I was feeling so guilty and thought to apologise to him later.

Jack left the room to which I don't know if it was out of anger. Jessica went after him right away so I took the opportunity to talk to Sam about the situation.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked in a low voice.

"Sure go ahead" he said while simultaneously cleaning the mess.

I asked with a sigh, "Even if Jack did knock the lights, don't you think you were being a bit too hard on him? I mean y'all are best friends, right?"

He paused for a second with a guilty look on his face and proceeded to say, " You see the fact is that he is a lot older to you and should be more responsible..."

I said, "Yes but.-"

He cut me off, "Also, someone could've gotten hurt and I can't afford that!"

I sighed and nodded in agreement with him. I knew I should not say anything else as I could potentially mess things up again.

Sam did look pretty cute when he was angry.....Ok what on earth am I saying?!

After cleaning up while I was taking the bag filled with shattered glass downstairs to the trashcan, I noticed Jack standing alone on the balcony.

He looked very sad and so after gathering some courage, I went there to apologise to him.

"Jack, are you ok?" I said while approaching him. I held the garbage bag very tightly, trying to brace myself as I thought he would snap at me.

Jack got surprised and snapped himself out his thoughts while rubbing his eyes.

"Yes I'm ok just looking at the sky" he said in a low voice.

I lowered my head in guilt while simultaneously fidgeting with my nails which very coated heavily in white nail polish.

"Listen, I just want to apologise for what happened earlier" I said as fast as I could.

He surprisingly replied, "No, really its fine. Things like this happen and you are our guest so why are you cleaning up?"

"Here let me take this" he said while taking the bag containing the glass pieces from my hand. He gave me a smile and left the balcony while I was still standing there looking like a complete idiot.

I mean I was a bit relieved that he was ok but I still felt that he was hurt. But maybe I was overthinking it. I think too much but you know....... not in a productive way.

Back at the hotel~

Nikita's pov:

"Aaah I can't find anything! I have turned the whole room inside-out but there is nothing drama worthy here!" I said loudly in frustration. My face was so red in anger that people 6 feet away could notice it.

"Calm down, calm down, CALM DOWN Nikita, you will find another way" I said to myself.

I looked around the room and saw that it was in a complete mess. I didn't want to clean it but I don't want to land in any unnecessary trouble so I took some time to clean the room up.

After cleaning that stupid room up, I opened the door and was stunned at hearing a familiar voice saying, "Ma'am you're here?"

I looked at that man and quickly realised that it was the same waiter from whom I stole the key earlier.

I froze at my spot after closing Olivia's door. I was sweating a bit as I was scared to get caught. I was thinking of ways to try and get away from him before he suspects me.

He looked at me with a concerned face and asked, "Do you remember me? I had helped you when you had fell down"

I replied in a hasty and nervous manner, "Of course, yes, I do haha"

I don't know why but I was smiling so wide that it looked so awkward with my teeth stuck out like that.

"Well I wanted to ask whether you have seen my master key anywhere. I seem to have dropped it" he stated.

My eyes widen and I quickly said, "Oh yes the key! I have it. I was looking for you to give it to you"

When I pulled the key out of my pocket, he looked at it and gave out a huge smile.

"Thank you so much ma'am! Without your help, I would've lost my job today" he said.

As he walked away, I thought to myself, "Well that was easier than I thought!"

I quickly got out of that floor and went back up into my own room. As I entered the room, I let out a breath of relief and wiped my sweat from my forehead.

"Well that was a total fail!" I said angrily. I got no dirt on Olivia that is drama worthy at all.

"Aaaah what to do? What to do?" I kept saying to myself while walking in circles in my room.

Back at Sam's house~

At the balcony:

Olivia's pov:

I was still standing at the same spot thinking of how Jack is. I was so lost in my thoughts that I did not realise Sam was standing right in front of me.

"What's wrong? Are you ok?" he asked with a worried face.

I snapped out of my thoughts and with a faint voice replied, "Yeah I'm fine"

He quickly said, "Listen if this is about Jack then you don't need to worry! He is fine. You don't need to stress out about it."

His face had a glow due to the moonlight but it wasn't enough to cover his concerned look.

"I don't know I just feel guilty about it!" I said again in a faint voice.

"Its gonna be fine! Come on now, I'll drop you off to the hotel before it gets any more late" he said with a smile.

I looked into his shiny eyes and nodded and went with him to his car.

In the car~

Olivia's pov:

"Well apart from the whole 'lights' situation, I think the collab went pretty well, don't you think?" Sam said with a smile.

I replied, "Yes it was amazing!! Thank you so much for doing this! But you will apologise to Jack right?"

He said with a smirk, "Don't worry about that! He's my best pal! He will alright."

"Well I hope you're right!" I said.

After reaching the hotel~

Still Olivia's pov:

"Well thanks a lot for dropping me" I said with a faint smile.

"No problem! So we doing tomorrow's video for your channel right?" he replied.

"Yup! Same time tomorrow as I think we have a meeting with YouTube's CEO in the afternoon" I informed after checking the schedule Vidcon gave me.

After we hugged, he got in his car and drove home. I proceeded to go to my room while scrolling through my phone again. Yup, I think I'm addicted to my phone.

Nikita's pov:

Because of the stress I was biting my nails while walking across the room. "Ok since Olivia is fully clean and has no dark past, I'll need to create some kind of trouble while she's here" I thought to myself.

I plopped myself on the bed, trying to think of something. After a few mins, since it was such a long day, I fell asleep.

Sam's pov:

I finally reached home, it was almost midnight and I was dead tired. While walking to the entrance of the house, I was just thinking how how fun today was. Olivia really made this day so much better than my usual boring days. I'm so excited for tomorrow but then I needed to crash!

Jessica opened the door for me but she had a worried look on her face.

"What happened? Is everything ok?" I asked concerningly.

She sighed and replied, "Well I'm ok but its about Jack!"

My face morphed to a completely sad face from a happy excited one!

"Why? What happened to him?"

She looked at me and took me to the entrance of Jack's room. We did not enter the room but looked at it from the outside. There we saw Jack sitting near the window, staring outside with a sad face.

"You know how sensitive he is right? What you did earlier really affected him. Go apologise now!" Jessica whispered in a slightly intense voice.

She walked away and I sighed and went into his room and sat down next to him on the floor.

"Today was quite a day, right?" I commented with a subtle smile on my face while looking at the night sky that was filled with twinkling stars.

Jack didn't say anything for a while, so I immediately switched the topic, "Ok listen I want to apologise for I did today. I know that was completely wrong and I hope you forgive me!"

There was a short pause but finally Jack replied, "Its ok, I guess I overreacted a bit"

"A bit?" I replied laughing. He too started laughing and said, "ok well maybe a lot."

We hugged it out and I reminded him that we both have to film a video tomorrow together.
